The BHS gym bleachers are in and installation is underway. The bleachers removed in March were nearly 30 years old and in need of repair. The new plan has seats with backs in the middle section of the Jackson Street side. The scorers table and team seating will move to the Main Street side. A space will be between the scores table, team seats and the bleachers, enabling fans to walk without disrupting the game. The photo below shows the gym without bleachers.
The Sports Warehouse, 111 N. Main St., will hold a ribbon cutting at 9:30 a.m., Friday, May 5, ito celebrate the store's first anniversary under its owner, Natalie Mueller.

During the anniversary celebration store hours are Friday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
"Everyone who stops in either of these days can enter to win a door prize," said Mueller.
